Inventor: GOURDIER ISABELLE
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2005-07-08
Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for detecting in vitro resistance of cancer cells to a treatment by detecting in the cancer cells supernumerary nucleolar organizer regions (NOR), whereby identification of the presence of supernumerary NOR in the cancer cells is indicative of treatment resistance.  The present invention also concerns a method for defining the capacity of a candidate agent to modulate NOR genes number of cancer cells by contacting the cancer cells with a candidate agent for a time sufficient to permit modulation of NOR genes number; and observing whether NOR genes number increases or decreases in said cancer cells. The present invention also provides a candidate agent that modulates NOR genes number of cancer cells obtained by the method of the invention and a composition for treating and/or preventing a cancer in a patient, comprising said candidate agent. Such a candidate agent decreases the NOR genes number in said cancer cells.

Title: Methods and apparatus for efficient ip multicasting in a content-based network
Inventor: GOULD KENNETH
IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 2007-01-02
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for assigning physical channels in a content-based network. In an exemplary embodiment, the network comprises a cable television network having a plurality of cable modems, and the physical channels are assigned to the cable modems based at least in part on any multicast transmissions that may exist on the system. When two cable modems are receiving the same multicast transmission, the invention causes tuning of one or more of the cable modems to the same physical channel in order to limit the total number multicast transmissions on the network.  Multicast transmissions typically comprise video or audio information, but other types of information may also be multicast according to the invention. In another embodiment, a multicast transmission list (containing a list of multicast transmissions and the corresponding physical channels) is sent to the set of cable modems. This list is used by the modems (or associated CPE) to manage channel allocation and tuning.
